Peaceable Kingdom Game – Smoosh & Seek Tree House

Smoosh and Seek Tree House is a cooperative game from Peaceable Kingdom with a playful twist. Players hide woodland animals by squishing tokens into soft Smoosh Dough, then work together to remember where each hidden friend is before Mr. Prickles climbs all the way up the ladder.

A usual memory game for kids has children flip cards to find pairs. Here the memory challenge is hands-on: players press tokens into dough to hide them, then recall which animal sits under each smooshed lump. The tactile squishing makes remembering their spots part of the fun.

Everyone is on the same team trying to find all the woodland animals before Mr. Prickles reaches the top of the ladder. Players share what they remember, take turns checking the dough and help each other, so the group either wins together or runs out of time together.

The Smoosh Dough gives the game its satisfying twist and its name. Pressing tokens into the dough and later uncovering them adds a sensory, hands-on step that plain card games do not have, and it quietly exercises fine-motor skills alongside the memory challenge.

The game is made for 2 to 4 players and is listed for ages 3 and up. Because players cooperate and can remind each other where animals are hidden, younger children can take part comfortably with the support of the rest of the group.

Peaceable Kingdom lists memory, simple strategy, cooperation and fine-motor skills as the main things children practise. Recalling hidden spots builds memory, squishing the dough works small hand muscles, and playing as a team teaches children to plan and share information kindly.

The box measures 33 x 22 x 5 cm, so it stacks easily with other games on a shelf. Return the tokens and dough to the box after play and keep the lid closed so the dough stays soft and ready for the next round of hide and seek.
